"I got near the wall and knocked on it and it sounded like a buzz saw in there," Margie Chavez said.
The couple opened up a wall and found millions of bees swarming.
They immediately notified beekeepers, who found more than 3 million bees in one area of the home.
Beekeepers said it will take a few days to remove all the bees and their nest.
The Chavez family said they will stay at a hotel until all bees are removed.
